Book overview
The world-changing appearance of Our Lady at Fatima ushered in a continuing series of remarkable apparitions worldwide that the Church has either officially approved or marked as likely-authentic. Author and Mariologist Wincenty Laszewski summarizes the powerful and urgent messages of these apparitions in this unparalleled, encyclopedic work-instantly the new standard on the subject. Most of these riveting chapters include portentous warnings - some are ominous, others more hopeful. This stunning book serves as a wake-up call to the faithful and is a worldwide clarion call to deeper prayer and conversion. It includes:
- Over 400 pages describing the fully documented miracles and visions
- Fascinating accounts by eyewitnesses, including non-believers
- 50+ maps of locations and pilgrimage sites
- Photos and illustrations: documents, events, and faces of the visionaries
- The finest works of art and reproductions of Our Lady
